According to "Spiderman" Brian Carroll, this flower crab spider cannot
change its color like a chameleon. He performed an experiment and disproved
the myth that this spider can change to white or cream if placed on a white
flower. What he did discover, however, is that if a yellow
crab spider lays her eggs on a white-flowered
plant, her offspring will be white, not yellow. Furthermore, if a white
crab spider lays her eggs on a yellow-flowered plant her offspring will
be yellow, not white.
